You can use optional interface cards to supplement your
printer’s built-in serial and parallel interfaces. The EPSON

If you are not sure whether you need an optional interface or
would like to know more about interfaces, contact your EPSON
dealer.
Note:
Your printer has an auto interface mode function that allows you
to connect to more than one interface at a time. See “Using DIP
Switches” in Chapter 4.
Coax and twinax interfaces enable the printer to communicate
with an IBM minicomputer or mainframe via coax or twinax
protocol. This allows EPSON printers to function as local IBM
printers without the addition of any other circuitry or
components.
